Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware requires time to steal its way across a target network. For this reason, ransomware attacks are commonly launched on weekends and at night, when IT staff may be slower to become aware of a breach and are less able to mount a quick and forceful defense. The more lateral movement ransomware can make inside a target's network, the longer it takes to restore basic operations and damaged files and the more information can be exfiltrated to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is intended to guide organizations to take the time-critical first steps in responding to a ransomware assault by stopping the bleeding. Progent's remote ransomware experts can assist you to identify and quarantine breached servers and endpoints and protect clean resources from being compromised. If your network has been breached by any version of ransomware, don't panic. Get help quickly by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.
